Part of the Globus family of brands, Avalon Waterways is backed by more than 89 years of experience in planning itineraries and guiding holidays around the world. As experts in travel, we continue to raise the bar when it comes to river cruising by creating truly unique holidays on one of the youngest fleets on the waterways today.

In 2004, excited by the promise of river cruising that (at the time) was characterized by older ships, limited space and land excursions that operated as an afterthought, Avalon Waterways was established to create a different kind of European river cruises experience—one that would embrace and celebrate everything special about the travel style.
